Entries on Alice Adams, Nairy Baghramian, Saloua Choucair Raouda, Fiona Connor, Barbara Hepworth, Sherrie Levine, Liza Lou, Sarah Lucas, Sonja Mancoba Ferlov, Patricia Piccinini, Claudette Schreuders, and Usha Seejarim included in Phaidon’s Great Women Sculptors, a global survey of leading women sculptors from the historical past to the contemporary present.

From the publisher:

“Presenting a more expansive and inclusive history of sculpture, Great Women Sculptors surveys the work of more than 300 trailblazing artists from over 60 countries, spanning 500 years from the Renaissance to the present day.

Organised alphabetically, each artist is represented by an image and newly commissioned text. This wide-ranging survey champions the best-known women sculptors from art history alongside today’s rising stars. From more recognisable names such as Camille Claudel, Gego, Barbara Hepworth, and Yayoi Kusama to some of today’s most significant contemporary artists, including Huma Bhaba, Mona Hatoum, and Simone Leigh, this book showcases 500 years of sculptural creativity in one accessible, visually stunning volume.”
